The 4 Pillars of Our Faith: Sacraments
This week, I’m featuring short excerpts from my book, A Well-Built Faith, focusing on the 4 pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Here’s a brief look at the second pillar: the Sacraments. To be sacramental is to express beyond words. Catholics are sacramental because human beings are sacramental. Humans express love in a variety of ways beyond words. We do not feel that our love is fully expressed unless we can reach out […]
Making Our Faith “Simple-Yet-Not-Simplistic”
No doubt you are familiar with the “…for Dummies” series of books—instructional books designed to take complex topics and present them in a non-intimidating format for readers who are new to the subject. Ironically, the reason that these books sell so well is that readers know that the author will not treat them like dummies but rather as an apprentice in need of a mentor. The authors are experts in their fields, and the subject […]

Luckily I did not have to miss one of my Monday night sessions with my 8th graders since yesterday, March 1, was Casimir Pulaski Day in Illinois, a state holiday, so we had no class. This coming Sunday is Confirmation and for once, I have the opportunity to actually attend the Confirmation Mass to see […]
That is indeed cool.

It really creates a joyful spirit in the updates we have for our catechism.Every day I always give time to open my computer, and the first thing I look at my yahoo account is the catechist journey.It is a lot of inspiration.

Thank you so much for your wonderful ideas and help. I teach second grade with children who are receiving their Reconciliation and Holy Communion this year, so it is a challenge. If you have any suggestions for second grade, I would so very much appreciate it. This week I’m using your “Signs” to lead into my Sacraments lesson while reviewing the Trinity, which is really hard for second graders
Again, THANK YOU and please keep them coming.
